This is a 1996 Volvo 850 "R" with 291,968 miles on it. It is in very good condition. The only thing not working at this time is the air conditioning. The car has power windows, power locks, a power moon roof, cruise control, seat heaters, power mirrors, rear area cover that retracts, power seats for driver and passenger. AM-FM stereo with cassette and CD, enhanced stereo as part of the "R" package. The "R" designation means that this is a Porsche designed performance package automobile. It has a computer chip that gives the turbo extra boost. It develops 243 horsepower. The wheels are 17" diameter spoke wheels. The upholstery has suede inserts. The door panels are leather trimmed. The dash has a dark walnut / beryl looking trim accent.
The car has been Extreme Dynamat lined for sound deadening. Inside the doors are lined, as well as the rear tire well. It was done before I got the car and I am not sure where else is lined.
This car is smooth and powerful. Just a tap of the throttle sails you up to highway speed when entering an on ramp. The tires are in near new condition. The brakes are new. It has a new front wheel hub. It has a new catalytic converter. It has a new timing belt, installed 1000 miles ago. It is registered in California until May of 2014. It has a fresh smog check done this week. The stereo works very well. It has a bit of turbo lag that can be adjusted out I have been told. As long as you roll on the throttle easily, you will never notice it. The upholstery is in very good condition. The roof of the car has been repainted. The color matched the alloy wheels. It has a factory roof rack.
Call me to make a direct deal at 760-481-8710. If we can make a deal before 12 hours are left on the auction I can close down this auction. It is being advertised locally and may be closed as soon as I can make a deal.
I would consider a trade for an inboard / outboard ski boat with an open bow and a V-6 engine.

This is Volvo's awesome S60 V8 Supercar entry [w/video]
Sat, 15 Feb 2014Australian auto news has been dire for the last several months with all three automakers that build there announcing they would stop production within the next three years. But Volvo is providing a shot of excitement with the unveiling of its new S60 racecar for the upcoming season of the Australian V8 Supercar series.
The Volvo S60 racecar will use a 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8 based on Volvo's B8444S production engine that will be tuned to produce roughly 650 horsepower on E85 ethanol. Power will get to the ground via a six-speed sequential transmission, and it will be able to reach 62 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 185. All cars in the series use common parts for the chassis, transaxle, and rear suspension.
Volvo's Polestar performance arm will campaign two of the S60 racers this season. While Volvo might seem like an odd inclusion into Australian racing, it actually has quite a successful history. It won the 1986 Australian Touring Car Championship in a 240 and won the Bathhurst 1000 race in 1998 in an S40. Polestar is not new to racing either, having been racing Volvos around the world since 1996.
Current Volvo XC90 to live on in China?
Fri, 28 Mar 2014The current, long-serving Volvo XC90 might not be going away as soon as we thought - at least not in China. According to word from CarNewsChina, the crossover's production will be moved to Daqing, China, in December and from that point on, be built at Geely's factory. The only available engine will be a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder.
According to the report, the present XC90 and the imminent next-generation model will both be sold in the market, but the Chinese-made vehicle will be positioned as a cheaper alternative. Geely will also develop a crossover of its own from the platform that should be ready in late 2015.
Volvo plans to launch the new XC90 later this year to replace the aging model, which has been on the market for over a decade. It will ride on the company's new Scaleable Product Architecture platform and will be powered by the automaker's new Drive-E four-cylinder engine family. Hybrid versions will also be available.
Volvo Concept Estate gets official [w/video]
Thu, 27 Feb 2014The final chapter of Volvo's concept car trilogy has arrived after a few teasers earlier this week, as well as some recently leaked images, and as we so astutely summarized previously, it's a brown shooting brake. Really, we couldn't think of a better type of vehicle to follow up the Concept Coupe from the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Concept XC Coupe from the Detroit Auto Show and complete the Swedish trinity of concepts.
It's best to think of the Concept Estate as the hipper, classier cousin to the Concept Coupe. The two are virtually identical below the beltline, featuring front fascias that are indistinguishable from each other (except one is, you know, brown). Both cars wear wide, rectangular grilles inspired by classic Volvo models and T-shaped headlights Where the Concept Estate differs, obviously, is with its more functional rear end and longer roof.
That rear is accented by the Estate's wide haunches and slim, angular taillights, which borrow heavily from the units shown on the Concept XC Coupe. These two features work in tandem to present a wide, squat appearance from the rear. The profile, meanwhile, shows off that spacious greenhouse, which is made even airier by a glass roof.
